Paul's Pond, Breary Marsh Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

Breary Marsh Nature Reserve is the finest example of a wet valley alder wood in West Yorkshire. Just walking distance from Golden Acre Park off the Otley Road, it represents a splendid escape into nature that's not too far from the centre of Leeds. Paul's Pond is a good place to spot waterfowl and the fortunate may even catch sight of a kingfisher.

Golden Acre Park

Highlight • Trail

A splendid spot for some quiet reflection by the cultivated flower beds and the lovely lake. Spring is a riot of colour, whilst the many heathers on display are delightful from late summer into autumn. The car park off the Otley Road is the traditional start point for the Leeds Country Way, a 62-mile (100km) circuit of the city's rural outskirts.
